Us Gt3rs Specs

Just received these details from PCNA, thru my salesman:

Differences from GT3:
"Rear fenders 44mm wider
Adj. carbon rear wing
Carbon fiber front lid
Race-regulated rear wheel carriers and split rear wishbones
Single mass flywheel
No sunroof
Weight reduction of 44#"

So i guess with PCCB, weight will be arpox -88# +/-

ordered orange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trying to make sense out of the weight differences is difficult.

The published curb weight of the US GT3 is the same as the ROW. 3075 lbs
Differences: the US version gets the sunroof (unaccounted for + lbs)
Smaller fuel tank 17.7 gal vs 23.8 gal (ROW)

Published weight for the GT3 RS is 3031 lbs
That however is the ROW version which has the shell seats
Add back 52.9 lbs (24kg) for the Sport seats the RS weighs in 8.9 lbs fatter than the ROW published weight of the GT3

PCNA advised dealers that the RS would be 44 lbs lighter, but this is baised upon ROW weights and they did not add back additional Sport Seat weight (52.9 lbs) Glass vs Lexan weight +6.6 lbs, or subtract rollbar.

Actual US weights are not published.
Weights published are derived from ROW weights.

My guess is thet the US version of the RS will tip the scales equal to or a tad bit heavier.
